DIED TO SAVE HIS BOYS.
Drowned in the Trea cherous Current
 of Salisbury Creek.

MoritZ Bullowa, well-known flour mer- chant of New York and prominent member of the Real Estate Exchange, was recently drowned in little creek back of Salisbury Mills, Orange County. MT. Bullowa and the boys went into the water above the mill dam where the water is in places rather deep. The basin above the dam, where the party went in, has been often used by the boys of the neigh borhood but it has for long time been con- sidered unsafe. A part of the planking way, and this makes a large hole, through which the water rushes with the forco of a whirlpool.
 Mir. Bullowa was on the bank when his boys entered the water. The youngsters were en- toying themselves hilariously when one of and rapidly whirled toward the small mael- strom that was boiling just below. Another of the boys was also in the current, and though trying to regain the shore, he was being car ried toward the fatal whirlpool only few feet behind his brother.
 Mr. Bullowa saw the situation, and giving his leg, which had threatened cramp, an ex- tra rub, he plunged into the water and swam with strong powerful strokes toward his sons, shouting to them to "Keep courage! Be brave, my sons, and you will be safe." The lads were both so frightened that the moment him with Q death grip. He managed to free himself once, and a neighbor, who had pro cured long pole, stretched it over the creek. It reached the eldest boy, who grasped it. His brother was pushed over by MT. Bullowa, who almost immediately sank. The boys we e drawn ashore greatly exhausted.
 The. body of MT. Bullowa was not fished 6ut of the creek until an hour afterward. If is supposed that the unfortunate man was seized With a cramp or was so exhausted that he could not prevent himself from being sucked down by the whirlpool. He was an expert swimmer, and as strong as an OK. He was a tall, well-formed man, of fine personal appear ance, and noted for his presence of mind in times of danger.

BUFFALO WAKING UP.
Preparing to Utilize the Great Water Power of the Niagara.

For years there has been more CT less talk of utilizing the great water power of Niagara river, which has been going to waste at the doors of Buffalo, and many have been the rent and making it do work for mankind Some of the members of the Buffalo Business Mems Association have lStey taken hold cf the matter, and from the present outlook it seems that steps will be taken ill the near flu ture to have tho waters of the Niagara river pay tribute to Buffalo and its manufactories before passing over the great cataract below
 Nobody denies that Buffalo has at its very gates water privileges that would make the fortune of any European city. Concealed in tho rushing current of the Niagara IS sufficient power to run all the manufactories of the city and not be missed. The matter has been taken up and discussed in & half-hearted way score of times, but never has definite action, with prospect of probable success, been taken in the matter until now. The following head to a subscription paper gives the glst of the present plan:
 6 The undersigned agree to pay the sums set opposite their names respectively, in the man. ner hereinafter stated, to fund which shall constitute a D. lze or reward to be offered to the inventors of the world for the discovery or invention of the best appliance for utilizing the water power of the Niagara River, and one that will utilize it economically, at or near Buffalo, so that such power may be made practi- caly available for various manufacturing pur- poses throughout the city. None O1 the suDscr D. tons hereto shall be payable unless the aggrc- gate sum subscribed shall amount to at least S10O, GOO, and when that amount is subscribed a meeting of the subscribers shall be called, at which every subscriber may cast one vote for every $50 he has subscribed. Such meeting shall determine the specific terms and condi- tions on which the offer of said prize or reward shall be published to the world, and shall de- termine tho manner and time of payment of the subscriptions hereto"
 This has already received the signatures of number of leading business men for S1, 900 each. The idea is to invite the best engineers in the world to enter into competition.

 Two or three furnaces of the Troy N Y, Steel and Iron Company are in blast, running on coke.
 Among the improvements that will be made in Pittsburgh mills during the summer shutdown is the addition of battery of steel boilers at the Elba Iron Works and a battery of similar size at the Keystone Mill at Soho. A new iron framework and roof over 300 feet long and two batteries of new boilers will be erected at the Vesuvius Iron Works at Sharpsburgh. A pudding forge of twenty furnaces will be built in Graf, Bennett x Go. s works in Millvale.
 The production of pig iron is greater than it ever has been, but the outlook for general output is very little more encouraging now than when the coke strike first commenced.

He Fooled the Train Robbers.

Just as the robbers entered his car the passenger turnedin his seat, and with an appearance of anxious dispatch pro- ceded to squeeze a small satchel behind the shutters of the next window. They could not help noticing his man@uvre and promptly ordered him to stand up md fold his hands. When they collar ed him in due course, their spokesman at once turned to that window.
 "Whats this here? Tried to beat us you poor sinner, did you? Logale- hold him, let me see that bag; aha! bank notes; thought so.'
 ''Oh, don't! don't!" walled the poor sinner, that's my childIen's money; they will starve; they will die; my poor little girls"
 "Girls you say? Send them this way and we'll take care of them,' was the brutal reply. "How much is that, any, how?"
 "Oh. Lord, Senor, all I have in the world; $12, ,OOO in American money-12,- 300, I think"
 els that so?' lingering over the notes. ''Yes, more or less, let's see your pock- cts now"
 A handful of silver was turned out, bit by bit, some $10 perhaps.
 "Oh, Senor, you are surely not go- ing to take my last pcnny?"
 'sD-n it, no'' broke in the leader. ''Let him keep that, and the watch, too. This will do us, showing the roll into his gripsack. Good boy!" with slap on his back.
 '.Next!" with complacent grin, which a week or So later was probably seen on the other side of his face when he ascertained that those "American bank notes hid been issued by the Confederate Government. A package of less irredeemable securities had in the meanwhile been sticking safe under the cushions of the willy passenger, who had taken that satchel along for the special purpose of diverting attention from the main stake.
